Menace from the Deep

There really isn't a reason to play this game in this golden age of rogue-likes and deck builders. The game is technically fine, but it is just so insanely (pun intended) boring. The game pace is slow and just wholly uninteresting. Too much small text, too many different effects, too hard to parse what is happening at a glance. There is no atmosphere. There are just some monsters but that doesn't make a game lovecraftian. The art is fine but since there are almost no animations, the game looks like a flash game from the past. The music is just bad and repetitive, and takes you right out of the creepy mood the art tries to convey. Writing and voice acting is just uninspiring. There are just dozens of better similar games than this one, and most of them are even cheaper than this.

Pros: Theming, combos of attacks/defends, relic combo sets, some meta progression with materials for creating buildings, many cards can upgrade at end of battle and cards earn XP based on how often you use them which is cool Cons: Forced to take a card for most battles, most card upgrades are disinteresting. Too many symbols/statuses & systems combined with weak base decks make it difficult to progress && it is difficult to estimate how much damage you're going to do or take so threat calculus is difficult Several times I won or lost fights when expecting the opposite result but could not tell you why it happened. The theme is good and there's a lot to enjoy here for someone who can parse the systems at-play but there is just too much going on here for me

So, something you should understand about this game. The scaling of the monsters implies you should have all your cards upgraded by hopefully the second area and with out a doubt the 3rd, else you will die. You upgrade cards by using them, but if you just use cards to win fights you wont have the opportunity to use your cards over and over again as your foes will have died. Thus: Stalling. Any who have played darkest dungeon should be familiar with this. If you can make a situation where monsters cant do anything to you but you can still play cards that wont kill the monster, you can level up your cards. This game doesn't have a reinforcements mechanic like DD, and from my perspective, that's a mistake, but a small one as the game is already challenging. This method of play also promotes defensive decks, which I have a bias for~ Overall, fun game with a good story and nice mechanics.

看在美术上买的，主控可以自选性别好评，我很喜欢那个优雅老太哈哈哈哈，拿拐棍敲人呢！ 【如果你的重度克苏鲁爱好者不要买】 克苏鲁只是个外皮，没啥克系的感觉。我这个不太懂克系的边缘爱好者，都感觉古神位格被拉低了。 剧情模式简直巨烧时间，因为角色初始血量很少，必定打不赢——那就去攒资源升级吧！局外成长太拖了，是不是怕我玩不到两小时退款啊！ 玩了n局，剧情解锁一头雾水，卡关ing

陷入了【好累不想玩了→买都买了下一把更爽】的循环中，不如爬塔但比爬塔简单（我是真的不太擅长卡牌）…
